My latest NSV.
I was at Costco today and saw some nice cargo shorts marked down to $6 ... I couldn't pass up a deal like that. Since Costco doesn't have a fitting room I decided to buy one pair of 36 waist and one pair of 38 so I could return the pair that didn't fit. I was wearing a size 46 when I started on MFP last October and lately…

Onderland ... finally!!!
I finally made it. I stepped on the scale this morning and it read 199 lbs. Onederland! at last! That is the first time the scale hasn't had a 2 in front of the number for many years. I feel so good and I am more motivated than ever to reach my goal weight of 185. Can't wait for beach weather to get here! 54 lbs gone, 14…

My latest results with pics .....
In October 2011 I joined MFP. At that time I weighed 254 lbs and my body fat was at 38%. I had no energy and would become totally breathless just bending over to tie my shoes. To top it all off, my doctor diagnosed me as pre diabetic. That scared the hell out of me and was just the wake up call I needed. When I first…

My latest NSV.
The weather is starting to get very nice in my neck of the woods so I broke out my shorts from last year ... all size 44 and 46 waist. I knew they were going to be too big but had no idea how bad they would look until I tried them on. They were badly bunched up around the waist and super baggy in the hips and thighs. I…

Couldn't get it up today ...
... my heart rate, my heart rate! What were you thinking! Seriously now. I went to the gym today and did my normal routine but I had a very hard time getting my heart rate up into my training zone and also maintaining my heart rate. I normally do about 10 - 12 minutes on the treadmill as a warm up then move on to…

Body fat NSV
When I joined a health club the first week in December my body fat was tested at 37.8% ... not something I'm proud of. For the last couple of weeks my weight has been plateaued and and I was getting frustrated. Today I was at the health club and decided to check my body fat again. It tested at 31.6%! Still too high but a…

Healthy NSV
I went to see my doctor this morning for a periodic checkup. This is the first time I have seen her since starting with MFP. She was amazed and elated at my progress thus far since she has been after me for years to lose weight. The good news is, my blood pressure is in a normal range so she lowered the dosage on my BP…

My latest NSV
All my jeans were starting to get pretty baggy so I finally decided to buy a new pair. The last time I bought jeans, about a year ago, I had to buy a size 46 and they were snug. Wow, was I surprised when I bought new jeans last night. I was able to wear a size 42 and they fit loosely. I'm so proud of myself, and I'm not…

Clothes NSV!
I went through some old clothes in my closet today and I found 5 pairs of dress slacks, 2 pairs of jeans, 1 sport coat and one suit that have not been worn in years that now fit me. I started MFP in early October and I have lost 19 lbs. so far. Before startling MFP I had been dieting on my own and had lost 8 lbs., but it…

First 5 gone
I've lost my first 5 lbs. since starting with MFP 12 days ago. I've been able to stay under my calorie goal each day and I have been walking 30 - 45 min every day. In the past I have always just guessed at my daily calorie intake ... with no success. I knew that logging calories was an effective way to lose weight but all…
